Described as "an important contribution to debates around sex and work" by Nina Power and a "must-read feminist book" by Zoe Stavri (aka Another Angry Woman), Playing the Whore puts sex workers' rights at the heart of the sex work debate: sex work is work, and sex workers' rights are human rights.

Melissa Gira Grant is visiting the UK from the 24th March - 3rd April to talk about her work, and will be speaking at a number of locations including London, Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Join her in Brighton as she explains why sex workers need rights, not rescue; it's time to shift the focus onto the producers of the anti-sex work discourse: police, feminists, politicians and anti-prostitution campaigners.

Join Grant in discussion with Georgina Voss - a Resident at Lighthouse Arts, where she leads research on speculative futures and policy implications of digital fabrication, grassroots innovation, and sexual healthcare. She writes about technology, politics and culture for The Guardian’s ‘Political Science' section, and was formerly based at the University of Sussex.
